An ultra-wide angle view of the total eclipse sky from the Teton Valley, Idaho. The Tetons are at left, still partly in sunlight. The lunar shadow has approached from the west at right and its edge is just past the Sun, ending the diamond ring and starting totality. Venus is at upper right from the Sun. Sirius is a tiny speck at lower right, likely not visible in low-res views on social media. Procyon, Rigel, and Betelegeuse are faintly visible in the original image. The horizon had colours mostly to the south. This is a single frame from a 660-frame time-lapse of the motion of the lunar shadow, taken with the Nikon D750 and 12mm full-frame Rokinon fish-eye lens.
The August 21, 2017 total solar eclipse over the Grand Tetons as seen from the Teton Valley in Idaho, near Driggs. This is from a 700-frame time-lapse and is of second contact just as the diamond ring is ending and the dark shadow of the Moon is approaching from the west at right, darkening the sky at right, and beginning to touch the Sun. The peaks of the Tetons are not yet in the umbral shadow and are still lit by the partially eclipsed Sun. With the Canon 6D and 14mm SP Rokinon lens at f/2.5 for 1/10 second at ISO 100.
The thin waning crescent Moon at dawn on August 20, 2017, on the last morning it could be sighted before the total eclipse on August 21. The Moon has risen over the foothills and peaks of the Grand Tetons in Wyoming, though this view is from the Idaho side looking northeast. Taken with the Canon 60Da and 200mm lens.
